Revered drummer, Jimmy Cobb, is set for the historic release of Remembering U, featuring a guest appearance by the late trumpeter Roy Hargrove and is the final recording session by legendary engineer, Rudy Van Gelder. A cd release party is slated for November 25, 2019 at Manhattan's Dizzy's Club, five stories above Columbus Circle. Cobb's expansive list of recording credits over seven decades reads like a Who's Who in jazz. Among the countless sessions he participated in since the mid '50s are such landmark recordings as Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, Porgy & Bess and Sorcerer, John Coltrane's Giant Steps and Coltrane Jazz and Wes Montgomery's Full House, Boss Guitar and Smokin' at the Half Note. On Remembering U, Cobb's 12th as a leader and first for his own Jimmy Cobb World label, the 2009 NEA Jazz Masters Award winner proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that, at age 90, he is indeed still swinging after all these years.
